{celebrate}: this week

I'm here to {celebrate} with Ruth Ayres and YOU!
Finding the little moments of joy in life.


Today I am celebrating.

{victory}
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday.  Bunny baskets filled with green grass, new bubbles and outside games.  Brightly colored hidden plastic eggs stuffed with chocolate candies and jelly beans. 

 Sounds like a win, right?  Sure, maybe a temporary victory.

But the true victory is in Jesus.

Jesus died a brutal death.  None of us will truly understand the depth of His suffering.  He lived out God's plan and died for you and for me.  For our sins.  For our wrong doings.  For our disobedience.  For our disregard to do what is right.  Past. Present. And future.

But the true victory is in Jesus.  He is the {glue} that keeps my sticky, messy life together.

Tomorrow I will celebrate this good news.

    It is an exciting time!

    I love the old song, "Because He Lives"...

    Because He lives
    I can face tomorrow
    Because He lives
    all fear is gone
    Because I know
    Who holds the future
    And life is worth the living
    Just because He lives

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
